garmin to Zabriskie, "tell the truth and we’ll stand by you"

“We cannot change what happened in the past but we believe it is time for transparency,” Slipstream Sports, the parent company of Garmin-Transitions, said in a statement.

“We expect that anyone in our organisation who is contacted by any cycling, anti-doping, or government authority will be open and honest with that authority.

If Zabriske and White were involved with doping this offers them a free pass to say, “yes, I did it.” In the current enviornment Many former dopers might be afraid to speak out and potentially lose a contract. Garmin standing up and saying, “no big deal, as long as you tell the truth,” might lead to more riders stepping up and saying what everyone suspects; pro-cycling was dirty, it’s getting cleaner and we need to do better.
